I have not heard of most of these. This is about to change the game. I’m especially excited to try scannable. When you’re an emerging business buying all of those office supplies can get costly. Its cool to know we can do even more with our phone through these apps. Great post!!

Thank you, glad you found the post informative. I’m always on the look out for free/low cost apps and platforms that can help me run my biz efficently, scannable is the truth and has helped me tremendously (lawd knows I had receipts everywhere, lol).
